Title: Commercial where a man was at a restaurant and his shirt collar was misshapen
Post by: bandit957 on March 14, 2026, 02:44:47 PM
Anyone else remember this? This was maybe 15 or 20 years ago.

There was a commersh that showed a couple eating at a fine restaurant. The collar of the man's shirt was completely stretched out and misshapen. I thought the woman in the commercial looked sort of like Calista Flockhart (but I don't think she actually was).

Who else can recall this?

That just sounds like whenever I wear a proper shirt instead of a T-shirt.

Googled "stretched out collar commercial" and this was the first result. I've never seen it before but it looks like a match.

I didn't figure it out from the description, but I do remember that.  Has it really been 15-20 years?

I don't remember seeing it at that time, which is when Progressive started to use Flo in their commercials. It seems like it was only a couple years ago when I last saw it. The upload date is November 2017 and most search results generate discussions from 2019 and 2020. It's also in the 16:9 aspect ratio, which probably means it was filmed in 2008 or later.

Also something to consider: usually commercials don't get rerun years after they were filmed, but it does happen sometimes (https://youtu.be/dO1s7OEpgWw?si=FL9unyZAeLdZ_Kpv). The discussion posts are not filled with nostalgia for when the commercial came out, which leads me to believe that the commercial started airing in 2017, around the time that the YouTube video was posted.

I'm guessing early 2010s.

One thing I'm pretty sure of is that the ridiculous Kroger commersh where the oval Kroger logo spins around on a table like a coin aired in 2016. I haven't been able to find it on YouTube in years.

I remember that commercial.  I think the guy was on a blind date.  Female was not very impressed with Male t shirt.  He was not putting in any effort to impress.
